Lu Qing'an swept his gaze over these people of the Great Emperor Realm, gave a calm nod, and then turned to look at his son.

By now, his son should understand what was going on, right?

At this very moment, Lu Zhengran was staring wide-eyed at his father.

Senior Eternal Night?!

Does this mean his father is the Eternal Night Demon Emperor?!

Otherwise, why would all these people call his father Senior Eternal Night?!

"Dad! Why are they all calling you Senior Eternal Night? Isn't the Eternal Night Demon Emperor the one in the courtyard..." Lu Zhengran asked meekly, looking at Lu Qing'an with clear eyes tinged with a touch of foolishness.

Hearing her younger brother's question, Lu Zixuan curled her lips.

Clown Younger Brother!

Could he really still not know that his father is the Eternal Night Demon Emperor?!

Lu Qing'an shook his head, not replying to his son, merely saying, "Let's go. Time to head home."

Silly boy, it's already so obvious, and he's still asking.

This boy truly needs to experience more things and learn to be a bit smarter.

Lu Qing'an took a step forward. In the next moment, a Void passage opened up before them, and he led his three daughters inside.

However, after waiting for a moment and seeing no movement from his son, he said, "Zhengran, hurry up and follow."

Looking at the passage ahead, Lu Zhengran was stunned once more.

What kind of technique was this?!

Was it also a Teleportation Array?!

He had never seen a Teleportation Array like this before!!

Once Lu Zhengran entered the void passage as well, the group returned to the courtyard in the blink of an eye.

Going from the noisy academy to the quiet courtyard in an instant left Lu Zhengran even more bewildered.

Lu Zixuan glanced at her dazed younger brother behind her and secretly shook her head.

This silly kid was still just as he had been in childhood!

In the past, she definitely would have pushed him forward to make him hurry inside the house, but now she held back, taking Sun Minzi's hand and taking the lead into the house.

Only after Lu Qing'an and the others had entered the house did Lu Zhengran snap back to reality and hurriedly run inside.

Soon, his gaze fell upon Xiao Qingyi and the others who were sitting and drinking tea.

Li Cangxuan was no longer here.

Xiao Qingyi, Wang Duanshan, and He Hong were still present.

Lu Zhengran immediately fixed his stare on Xiao Qingyi.

If his father was the Eternal Night Demon Emperor, then who was this person?!

Wait, that's not right!

How could his father be the Eternal Night Demon Emperor?!

Isn't the Eternal Night Demon Emperor a God of Slaughter?!

Although his father had been quite strict with him since childhood, he had never felt any God of Slaughter demeanor from his father!

Sometimes, when seeing the awe-inspiring presence of other people's Great Emperor Realm fathers, and comparing that to his relatively ordinary father, he had even felt a bit of envy.

Now, of all things, were the heavens playing a joke on him?!

"Dad, you... you still haven't answered my question! Why did they call you Senior Eternal Night??" Lu Zhengran asked timidly, stepping up to Lu Qing'an with furrowed brows and a bitter expression.

"What do you think?" Lu Qing'an said helplessly.

Hearing this, Xiao Qingyi instantly realized what had happened to the father and son while they were out. His mind raced, sparking another inspiration, and he hastily coughed, "Zhengran, you misunderstand. Did someone call your father Senior Eternal Night when you were out?"

Lu Zhengran nodded vigorously, his gaze toward Xiao Qingyi dripping with profound resentment.

He suspected that Xiao Qingyi had been deceiving him!

If his father was the Eternal Night Demon Emperor, then Xiao Qingyi was a fake!

Taking him for a fool to toy with!

"That's completely normal, especially over at the Demon Willow Academy. I'm a low-key, steady person who dislikes showing my face. So, I orchestrated a little performance where I made a secret move, letting your father reap the rewards and making others think he was me! Do you understand now?"

Xiao Qingyi was still trying to bluff his way through.

Wang Duanshan: "..."

You old fellow, do you even believe that excuse yourself?

Lu Qing'an was speechless as well.

You really take my silly son for a fool, don't you?

Who could possibly believe that?

Just like that, everyone present turned their eyes toward Lu Zhengran.

Lu Zhengran narrowed his eyes, glancing back and forth between Xiao Qingyi and his father.

Piecing together everything that had happened at the academy, he vaguely had an answer.

It was just that the shock this answer brought him was still too overwhelming to process.

That dean had truly felt much stronger than Xiao Qingyi!

Yet such an Expert had actually been so respectful toward his father!

However, watching these Seniors who were now remaining quiet and just staring at him, he felt conflicted again.

These Senior Experts wouldn't all gang up together just to tease a kid like him, would they?

Could they really be that unreliable?

That doesn't make sense!

"Oh," Lu Zhengran nodded.

Though he harbored suspicions in his heart, he would pretend to believe it for now!

Seeing this, Xiao Qingyi realized Lu Zhengran was still half in doubt, but This kid didn't seem to have found sufficient evidence to prove he was lying yet.

That meant he still had room to maneuver later.

Lu Qing'an shook his head secretly.

He didn't say anything, waiting to see if his son could see through the lies of this old fellow Xiao Qingyi.

"I'm back!" Just as everyone's attention was centered on Lu Zhengran, a voice rang out from outside.

The temperature in the courtyard instantly turned pleasantly cool.

"Aunt Xue is back?" Lu Miaomiao ran out with a smile.

Before long, Snow Heavenly Consort carried Lu Miaomiao into the room.

Lu Zhengran looked toward Snow Heavenly Consort and was instantly stunned by her peerless beauty.

Who is this?!

So beautiful!!

And she feels so strong!!

The moment he saw Snow Heavenly Consort, he immediately thought of his mother.

In his memory, his mother was the most beautiful woman in the world, exceptionally strong and possessing top-tier Talent.

Yet upon seeing Snow Heavenly Consort at this moment, he could not help but inwardly rank his mother in second place.

Snow Heavenly Consort's looks were on par with his mother's, but that distinct aura and the impression she gave when smiling were noticeably far more special than his mother's!

A so-called Fairy was nothing more than this!

"Are you Zhengran?" Snow Heavenly Consort glanced across everyone present, her gaze quickly coming to rest upon Lu Zhengran.

"Greetings, Senior!" Lu Zhengran did not know who Snow Heavenly Consort was, but he could tell she was extraordinarily powerful.

She seemed to be even stronger than Xiao Qingyi!

"Haha, you look quite a bit like your father. I am Snow Heavenly Consort; I wonder if you have heard my name before?" Snow Heavenly Consort introduced herself with a smile.

"You are Senior Snow Heavenly Consort?!" Lu Zhengran was greatly astonished.

As expected of Snow Heavenly Consort!!

No wonder she had so many fans even in the Immortal Ruins!!

Truly so beautiful!

And so strong!!

He had also recently heard about the matters between Snow Heavenly Consort and the Eternal Night Demon Emperor.

"Haha, no need to be so formal with me. Just like Miaomiao and Zixuan, you can call me Aunt Xue!" Snow Heavenly Consort smiled brilliantly, glancing at Lu Qing'an as she spoke.

If possible, she actually wished every child would call her stepmother!

"Aunt Xue?" Lu Zhengran was slightly stunned again.

Immediately afterward, something crossed his mind, and gritting his teeth, he asked directly.

Snow Heavenly Consort definitely knew who the Eternal Night Demon Emperor was!

Asking directly would settle it!

"Aunt Xue, may I ask you a question?"

"Of course."

"Is the Eternal Night Demon Emperor here? Is my father the Eternal Night Demon Emperor?" Lu Zhengran looked at Snow Heavenly Consort with utmost seriousness.

Snow Heavenly Consort was taken aback by this question.

Child, you still don't know your father is the Eternal Night Demon Emperor?

Right then, Xiao Qingyi quickly sent a Sound Transmission to Snow Heavenly Consort.

After hearing Xiao Qingyi's Sound Transmission, Snow Heavenly Consort glared fiercely at him, then looked toward Lu Qing'an, a trace of playful reproach flashing across her eyes.

Teasing his own child like this!

"Zhengran, your father is the Eternal Night Demon Emperor."
